Bernie Zelazny is a native
Texan, born in Dallas, he moved to Austin as a young adult. He began visiting
the Big Bend Country in the early 1970s. He immediately fell in love with
the area. After more than 10 years of dreaming of it, and working towards
it, Bernie finally moved to the Alpine area in 1994. During the many visits
to the area prior to moving to the Big Bend Country, he hiked more than
300 miles in Big Bend National Park, going to many areas few visitors have
experienced. However, it wasn't until recently that he began to photograph
the area. Now he's revisiting many of the areas that he previously explored,
and also seeking out new areas, photographing them along the way. Over
the coming months and years Bernie hopes to share many of these areas with
you through his photos.
